Florida man saves his dog from the jaws of an alligator; wildlife cam films the dramatic rescue

The camera project began as a way to increase the conversation about how humans and wildlife share the same landscape. As residential developments encroach on wildlife habitat in Southwest Florida, Budd said education on co-existence with wildlife is important to help reduce conflict between humans and wildlife.

"Wildlife is all around us and we are all a part of the same ecosystem,'' she said."Each species plays an important role and contributes to keeping our environment healthy." The ultimate goal of the project is to take the footage captured from the volunteers' properties and create a video to help educate people about living amongst wildlife.

"It is critical that people who live at the interface of wild land take extra precautions —dogs should be leashed and both people and pets should avoid lingering at the edge of large retention ponds where alligators are known to occupy," Budd said.

Cool guy.I think the cigar helped.

That man is a HERO!!!

So glad that sweet pup has an owner willing to fight an alligator. And I am SO GLAD you guys reported that both human and pup are ok. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are the SWEETEST breed ❤️

Let's see, who lets a 3 month old puppy play in gator infested water? Answer that before you raise him to hero status.

What a boss
